Im torn. Sure a new MR7 in a longer ATA would be great, but the Apex/Conquest line is still holding it’s own and my A7 is my favorite bow. I guess we will have to wait till the first of the year to find out

I think we may see something on that order or maybe a longer ATA HeliM.

I would jump all over that…and make it a hunting bow

As long as that longer ATA bow came with longer draw lengths, I would be all over it like white on rice Helim is the best bow Mathews has had out in a long time

I don’t see a HeliM target bow … what’s the purpose if a 30″+ stabilizer with offset V-bars is going to be added with weights to get the mass weight up, eh?

The draw stop is a good thing for a target bow. I never understood why it was really needed on a hunting bow that would rarely take a shot over 50 yds at a target with a 6″ dia. heart and 9″ dia. lungs. For the miniscule improvement in accuracy, a draw stop only makes sense on a target bow.

String angle relates to stability or instability in string path, so greater string angle is a benefit for a target bow. I just don’t see beyond parallel limbs making for a good target bow since the riser has to be a “Louisville Slugger” to get a decent string angle. A longer riser means more riser deflection under torque. Perhaps limb pocket angles more like the Conquest Apex/Prestige would achieve the string angle needed while keeping riser length reasonable.

Just too much reflex in Mathews risers for a good target bow, IMHO. Maybe sacrifice a bit of speed for a shorter riser with less reflex would be in order for 2013?

… but Mathews does need a Target Bow for Indoor and Outdoor FITA. JMHO

Im shooting an Ovation right now. I have had several newer Mathews bows, but the solid wall is what I dig about the Ovation. I shoot it much better than my A7. Now I am waiting to see what happens in a few hours, but if the new rigs don’t have a positive draw stop, I will be ordering a HeliM for my 3-D rig for next season.
Many people don’t understand why you would want a light bow for target shooting. It allows you to put more weight at the end of your stabilizers where it actually does some work.

I’ve been told the new McPherson bow has reduced the weight under 4 lbs, and improved the balance, redesigned the cam with a solid wall, increased the range of draw length modules, and will be fast, much faster than a HeliM … maybe one of the best 3D bows to come along since the Apex7, eh?
